About
Are you in need of a keynote speaker? Dr. Travis is able to lead those conversations that enable adults to collaborate and solve problems concerning children. Social emotional development is often addressed with little done to address the social emotional awareness of adults within the same context. Emotionally intelligent adults recognize their needs and their well-being is an unspoken asset. In contrast adults who lack awareness struggle to identify and meet the needs of children. Having recognized the need to address the connections between the resilience found in adults and children, Dr. Travis has a desire to capture the hearts of individuals who work with students. Using her story to inspire, she addresses the need to empower adults to work with school-aged children to improve the overall atmosphere of communities everywhere. The reslience online training is included as an additional tool. What is resilience? The American Psychological Association defines it as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or even significant sources of risk. This training explains why community leaders must take action to address resilience and the social emotional nature of learning within their communities. If environmental factors affect the development of resilience in today's youth, then a recognition of the factors that impact young adults is necessary to foster their self reliance. Furthermore, where and how is reslience addressed today? This training is beneficial for anyone who creates a safe space for young adults. It provides a conceptual framework for understanding how they become resilient. It increases relationship skills, self and social awareness. It empowers adults to make decisions that consider the needs of some of the most difficult children.
